The answer is that the Gender War has evolved.
A great example of what I'm about to elaborate on it the Man vs Bear trend. Social media, a tool of division and manipulation disguised as entertainment, recently had a trend where women were asked if they'd rather be stuck in the forest with a random man or a bear. This trend sparked huge debates among the genders as women would irrationally choose the bear and back up their reasoning with misandrist ideas that have also been pushed into their feeds, and the men felt hurt, offended, and angry that once again, women see the reaction and define it as male aggression and use it to justify their actions.
Since women began entering mainstream niches like video gaming, streaming, and politics over the last decade, they have inadvertently altered each niche. Female video game streamers dressed in slutty outfits and streamed their mid gameplay on twitch in front of all the goons they brought over. As a result Twitch, and platforms like it, have now been fetishized and sexualized.
Here's a fact supported by science, religion, and literally looking around you: Females are more geared to seek attention than males. It's a fact of biology.
Any woman who isn't a subhuman has orbiters. Orbiters are the men in her life romantically or sexually interested in her and gather around her like hemorrhoids around the lower rectum. There are always more than one orbiter. And the more attractive the female, the more orbiters she has. And the orbiters quality also increases.
Now when women and all her orbiters enter any niche that's predominantly male-oriented, they will tend to use the guise of "feminism" and "equality" to force their way into the niche without resistance and demand that the pre-existing order be reformed to accommodate her preferences. That is exactly what is happened on this forum. But it is not crystal clear and takes pattern recognition to observe.
Now this is no reason to despise women. Half of them don't even know they're causing this. And it is all completely natural. But when you see a girl who is clearly attractive, posting on here either making a cutesy "haiii" post or a "I'm so ugly please rate me" post now you know why they do it and how it will affect this forum.
Now looksmaxxing at its core is a positive thing. Its extreme self-care and a desire to improve quality of life. Females who are mtb and lower do have valid reasons for being here. But when an attractive woman posts and attractive pic, you know exactly what they're doing.
AGAIN, it's not completely their fault, it's biology. It's what happened thousands of years ago but only with a bigger interaction pool and the internet.
When attractive women enter any niche and actively expose themselves to any viewer, just know its the beginning of the end for that niche.
Female inclusion is a process that always ends in sexualizing that industry.
Here's the sad truth, there will never be gender "equality" because not only are females and males not equal ON A NEURAL LEVEL AND A PHYSICAL LEVEL, but every individual person is completely different from the other.
I am not saying we should exclude women from any field they want to be in. Women can be interested in the same things as men. Hell, those are what tomboys are (we don't see those much anymore). But just know that for every few wholesome female looksmaxxers on here, there will be at least one htb attention whore. And over sexualizing anything is the fall of everything.
